Thought for today:
“Search yourself and
you shall find God.”

Underneath: so that’s where the mystery is.
UNDERNEATH
Underneath: that’s where the mystery is.
Underneath words, gestures, actions,
from time to time I wonder why you
said what you said and did what you did.
Underneath my non-response, my pause,
I’m all hesitation because I just don’t
know what you’re about. It’s too tricky.
Underneath is better than the invisible.
Why? Well because we can look at the
underneath and possibly see something.

SECRETS
Secrets -
sins and hurts -
on tiny pieces of paper -
are stuck between the stones
of our soul. We
pull them out
to read them every once in a while -
but most of the time we ignore
them - or push them deeper into
the skin of our soul - always
knowing - when we acknowledge
them - we can be that much more
understanding and kinder
of each other.

SILENCE
Find a place that is silent -
a corner room or a basement chair.
Then, as they say in church,
make sure all electronic devices
are turned off. Next take 10 minutes -
exactly 10 minutes - of silence.
Be silent. Be still. Be quiet.
At first devices in your mind will be talking. Acknowledge each voice.
Then turn them off - one by one.
Notice them as they disappear.
Next .... Listen .... Listen ....
Then notice God will be there -
right there, right now, now, now....
The Silent God is with you.
